Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there were a verb meaning "to believe falsely," it would not have any significant first person, present indicative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47325]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there were a verb meaning "to believe falsely," it would not have any significant first person, present indicative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pretty healthy retail sales growth in November reinforces belief that consumer spending is picking up to some extent, and reduces ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pretty healthy retail sales growth in November reinforces belief that consumer spending is picking up to some extent, and reduces the case for a near-term interest rate cut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He smiles, and sleeps!--sleep on And smile, thou little, young inheritor  Of a world scarce less young: sleep on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3627]]></link><description><![CDATA[He smiles, and sleeps!--sleep on And smile, thou little, young inheritor  Of a world scarce less young: sleep on and smile!   Thine are the hours and days when both are cheering    And innocent!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, we only have half court and now we're going to have full court and like the computer lab ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, we only have half court and now we're going to have full court and like the computer lab that's going to be way better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played a pretty good game.
